Preciosa Ornela 13/0 Charlotte Cut seed beads in dark red — 18 hanks of Bohemian-made Czech glass with that signature single-facet cut that catches light in a way a standard round rocaille simply can't. The Charlotte cut adds a subtle sparkle to an opaque bead, giving you depth without translucency.
The opaque finish delivers a solid, saturated dark red — no light passes through, so the color reads as bold and graphic, holding its own against metals, neutrals, or other saturated hues.

What to make with them
At 13/0, these tiny Charlottes are well-suited for fine peyote or brick stitch work where the facet creates a low-key shimmer across a beaded surface, and the bulk quantity of 18 hanks makes them a practical choice for larger wearable pieces like loom-woven cuffs or densely beaded collars where consistent color coverage matters.
Description
Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 13/0. Each bead measures approximately 1.7 mm across with a 0.50 mm (approx.) hole. These round seed beads are made using Preciosa's tube-cutting and hot-polishing process, which gives them a gently rounded shape and consistent hole size that works beautifully for loom work, off-loom bead weaving, bead embroidery, and general stringing projects. Use them anywhere you need classic Czech rocailles—from intricate peyote and brick stitch to fringe, edging, and multi-strand designs. Not a toy. Not intended for children under 15 years. Seed beads should be kept away from small children due to the risk of swallowing or inhalation.
